Gush About ''Other'' Cultures/Demographics/Nationalities You Like:

We have many threads for gushing about aspects of your religion, hometown, country, or ethnicity you like. Well, in the rather cosmopolitan spirit of TV Tropes, I'd like to hand out gushes for the famous "Other".

Guys gushing about girls. Heteros gushing about LGBTQs. Civilians gushing about the military. Swedes gushing about Canadians. If there's someone not of the Earth out there who wants to gush about how Humans Are Special, we'll take that too. So....have at it gang!

I'll start off. As someone from the East Coast, I have to say that the Pacific Northwest is really that green, really that clean, and the people really are that nice (even if frustratingly laid back ).

And better "cookies," from what I hear. I have heard only good things about tea biscuits. Also, they actually drink hot tea. And I imagine they do it PROPERLY. None of this tea bag nonsense...grumblegrumblestupidAmericangrocerystoresgrumble...

Oh, and I just remembered: I actually really love Japanese culture, and it bugs me when people dismiss it as "crazy." Granted, I love it entirely because it gives me some of my favorite games - Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus: Uprising, the Mario games, just to name a few.

I've been thinking recently about what it must be like to have a large part of one's mediasphere not be in their native tongue. These days Hollywood makes more money internationally than in the U.S. With our entertainment industries being the 800 pound gorilla in world media, it's weird to think that most people in other countries are at least aware of what we're making, but we often can't even be bothered to pay attention to British, Canadian, and especially Australian stuff, which is at least in our own language.
